ABSTRACT:
A surface mountable electronic component socket for mounting on the surface of a printed circuit board includes a socket made of insulative material and a plurality of surface mountable terminals which are disposed within the socket body. Each terminal includes a lead portion for surface mounting on an associated contact area of a circuit board, and a hollow body section adapted to receive the lead of an integrated circuit or other electronic component. Each terminal is axially movable or floatable within its respective opening in the socket. This axial movement of the terminals accommodates misalignment which may occur between the surface mounted leads and the printed circuit board thereby providing reliable engagement of the socket with the circuit board.
